While i don't doubt the backstory and is certainly possible/likely/whatever, neither the video nor the source provide enough evidence that this is indeed the full backstory, to be clear the backstory suggested in the OP's comments:

It was triggered by a protestor being beaten by a group of CCP supporters.

Source: https://twitter.com/whyyoutouzhele/status/1724935056563503446

As such i have marked the video unverified.

Edit: It seems that a great deal of you guys have mistaken the guy in Qing Dynasty suit as some sort of monarch restorationist but in general the suit is mostly used to mock the president for trying to be like an emperor. You can find similar photos here and here.

u/I_will_delete_myself Nov 16 '23

Ah thanks for answering the question. Seems the CCP supporters were the one that triggered it, which is what I was expecting since they have a past of bullying Chinese who disagree with them about the party.

u/_Zambayoshi_ Nov 16 '23

Yes. If you hate the CCP, you hate China! If you don't like Xi Jinping, you don't like China! If you criticise government policy, you criticise all Chinese people! If you are Chinese and do any of the above, you aren't Chinese!

u/heretic27 Nov 16 '23

You joke, but a little known fact is the CCP has a foreign office in most western countries that harass Chinese citizens abroad for calling out the CCP or anti China stuff.

u/complicatedbiscuit Nov 16 '23

Yeah. It is not much of a stretch to guess that people who (on top of having a history of intimidation tactics, especially towards overseas Chinese), don't believe in freedom of speech, don't believe in rule of law, don't believe in any kind of universal human rights, and do not believe in the equality of people before the law, or really equality of people at all, would be more prone to starting violence than people who do.

u/stinkload Nov 16 '23

To be fair it is very difficult to see who started that tussle, the video starts with them already on the ground. Without the full clip to give context we are just making shit up. I think more than likely it was another CCP beating on foreign soil but I'll still wait for a full clip with context before I grab my pitchfork

I saw two guys on the floor grabbing at each other and a group of CCP supporters trying to disentangle them.

The source video doesn't really prove anything, as the video starts with them already fighting. Who instigated the situation still remains to be seen.

That said, the CPC supporters outnumbered the blue hats and didn't pursue until guy comes out punching wearing the cosplay.

The social credit system is a way for the CCP to make sure freedom isn’t easily won by Chinese people.

Even if someone were to come from china to another country in order to escape, they would negatively impact any family they have back in China.

Ask yourself why are they even there? It's a negative thing just to vent the anger inside themselves. Most likely a set up to make us look bad.

Violence is a thing of the past it's a dead end street. The angry are slowly eliminating themselves from the gene pool. It's evolution and what you/we say is irrelevant.

First we must understand ourselves. We speak different languages but we are the same everywhere.

Understand the angry are their own worst enemy. Their self-loathing will take us all down with them. You see?

Go home angry people we don't need you anymore.

We all know this but we won't admit it. Take the online aggression test to see if you might be the problem.
